Somewhere over the rainbow way up high There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up when the clouds arefar behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimneytops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow why then, oh why can't I? If happy little blue birds fly across the rainbow Why oh why can't I?
